Questions about this bond
Is the bond the only permitted financial security?
No. MCL 338.1059(4) also allows an insurance policy with the specified limits and named coinsureds. This page is for the surety bond route.
Does this authorize the qualifying officer or agency to work?
The department must approve the license. The bond is one part of that application, alongside the agency and qualifying officer requirements.
Where does the issued bond go?
LARA’s initial agency instructions call for the surety bond or insurance certificate to be uploaded with the MiCLEAR application documents.
